“Hi, I’m Lisette, C.e.O. of integrant.”
Lisette Walser (formerly Alent) is a professional grant writer with over 13 years of experience in researching, writing and administering competitive grants and contracts. Over this time, she has helped raise over $82,000,000 in grant and contract funding for universities, nonprofits, public entities, and small businesses.
Lisette’s experience is supported by a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Psychology and minor in Health Science from Eastern Washington University. Lisette was also one of the first in the nation to earn the Research Administrators Certification Council’s Pre-Award Research Administrators certification and has helped other administrators earn their certification. Lisette founded Upwords (now doing business as “InteGrant”) in 2017 and is the co-founder and CEO of Four Roots LLC, a regional food hub and food access provider for Eastern Washington.
Prior to this, Lisette was a founding member and Executive Director of the Inland Northwest Farmers Market Association, Grant & Contract Coordinator for Washington State University, and Grant Administrator for the Community Colleges of Spokane Foundation.
Over the course of her career, Lisette has attained and maintained one of the highest rates of grant application success in the nation with an average “win rate” of 60% (compared to the national average of 12-20%), and through her track record of success, has helped many nonprofit organizations raise awareness, funds and operational support that have sustained and grown their missions. She now serves as a guest speaker and helps train the next generation of grant writers and fundraising professionals.
Although she has written grant applications spanning just about any and every topic, she specializes in supporting causes related to agriculture, food systems, youth programs, land use/conservation, as well as the arts & humanities. In her personal life, Lisette enjoys spending time with her husband, children, and two dogs. She loves cooking, spending time outdoors, listening to live music and gardening.
